Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

It’s also a central principle of many beliefs. It’s common for a person to think that they are smarter than gods or that they know all the facts of the universe and what is right and wrong and then they judge the things around them based on their little ideas.
God works in mysterious ways is a thing that a humble (realistic) person should keep in mind. A Human is a tiny insignificant creature and a human brain isn’t going to comprehend the reasons, events and magnitude of things. We don’t even know anything about the past except the stories we’ve heard and made up. Let alone the future.
Whether you believe in deity or not, it is a good model and perspective. A piece of age old wisdom, even if you don’t like the words it had been put in.
“God works in mysterious ways” is blaming things on gods when your god may have nothing to do with it. That signals you’re trying to me smarter than your god way more than saying, “Let’s figure this out.”
It’s not always in reference to negative things. In my experience it tends to be for strange or unexpectedly positive ones tbh.
This is full of falsehoods and outright lies. We do understand the past, we do understand how we got here, we do comprehend the reasons behind almost all events that happen as they can almost universally be explained by science. If we don’t know, we keep doing science until we get the answer - which we, invariably, do.
This may have passed as wisdom a century ago but in the modern age of mandatory education and freedom of information, it just sounds uninformed and naive.
i cant decide if this is outrageously funny or incredibly naive… both?
please, cite your fact based source
Yeah, little babies with cancer surely make sense. And so does the saying “God wanted him/her there sooner!”. Like that fucker couldn’t just skip giving the parents trauma and create a baby at heaven directly. And I could think of dozens examples more.
Have you ever heard of a reverse exorcism?
It’s when a demon tells a priest to exit the child’s body.
